This dynasty team was a 2015 startup where my goal was a Year 1 productive struggle (looking like the 1.02 draft position for 2016) in a best ball format. With a total points structure, it provides more clarity on team direction as it is a race to Week 16 instead of the head-to-head playoff variables at play. Therefore, the strong teams have more incentive to bolster their rosters, trade away rookie picks, and calculate some odds on going all-in or not. Those dynamics are good for non-competitive teams as well, resulting in a robust market to sell productive current year players.
After trading away Dion Lewis a few days earlier, Danny Woodhead was the next trading project whose current year points are hurting me and at 30 years old, has more value to a contender now than my 2016-and-beyond looking squad. After a few offers being sent out, I get a counter back, which I accepted.
